The other day I stopped by my folks' house and spied this beauty in the garage. I knew Dad would have aspirations for it...an eBay auction or a live auction in town. He'd have plans alright. But, when I hit my knees and started begging with tears in my eyes, he said "yes". Yes! YES! He told me I could have it for my birthday, which is a full 8 months away!
Thanks, Dad!
I promise to post pics when it is up on a wall in my house. Isn't it magnificent? In case you can't tell, it is about 2 feet high. It's humongous! Wonderful! I don't know if it works. Don't care. Love it! Here's one in working condition. I actually prefer it all white.
Happy Monday!

Very cool, your Dad is the best!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!! My dad is the same.....it's like going to a salvage yard when I go visit! I make sure I have the truck, not just a car.....you never know what may NEED to come home with me!
ReplyDeleteThink he would want to adopt me? Debbie
ReplyDeleteMy dad has a garage full of junk too! Problem is..my sister always beats me to everything! Dang It!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get tired of that fantastic gift...I have the perfect place on my wall!

That is one cool clock! What a nice daddy!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I'm sure he'd adopt you. But, you can't have anything from the garage. ha!
ReplyDeleteLisa, my sister doesn't like antiques. Aren't I lucky?
Yes, my dad Rocks! ~Mindy
I think you should plug it in. Knowing your mom's knack for fixing things, it could be working by your birthday even if it's not now!
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a lucky girl you are.

Your Dad sounds like the man I would love to go thrifting and junking with.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't my husband like that?
That is a most fabulous clock! Even if it doesn't work, it will look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm a lover of clocks too. It will look great in your home I'm sure. If it doesn't work, set the hands at 2:10 and it will look like it's smiling. It will be right 2 times every day.
ReplyDeleteGreat find.

That's one great clock! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Too cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful! It is neat that junking is in your blood. I think I am a first generation junker, my parents were not into it, that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a generous Dad! I get my love of junk (from auction sales) from my pa too!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that your Dad is a lover of "junk" too! So glad it rubbed off on you, so you could share your wonderful love of junk with us!!!
ReplyDeleteAh ha! Now we know where you get it! Your dad is really neat. Hope you get to go on some of his junking runs. Clock is great too; don't blame you for wanting it for yourself!
ReplyDeleteI get my junkin' genes from my Dad. He use to pull into the driveway with his old pickup loaded down with boxes & I would get that same feeling I get now going to an auction. The only difference is now I have to pay -- bummer. Jan
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Daddy to have! I was crazy about mine he has been dead 33 years, I love hearing about the love Daughters have for their fathers, and YOU have a JUNKING DADDY!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet daddy! I can't wait to see it on your wall. Way cool! jojo
ReplyDeleteI love that clock, I would have begged as well!!
ReplyDeleteTheresa
A birthday present eight months away! Does your dad feel like adopting?
